We Came As Romans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The light may fade but I won't wither away
I won't wither away
I won't wither away
(I am Darkbloom)
Everything looks the same
I know it all too wellAm I numb and afraid
Of looking at myself
Day or night
I'm fighting the feelings I hide behind
If it all comes undone
We'll black out the sun
I will find my own light
That's buried inside me
I won't pretend that I can see the end
The light may fade but I won't wither away
I won't pretend that I can see the end
The light may fade but I won't wither away
Every choice that I make
The seeds that I sow
I'm faced with my pain
Like a fork in the road
Die or grow
When they black out the sun
I will find my own light that's buried inside
I won't pretend that I can see the end
The light may fade but I won't wither away
The light may fade but I won't wither away
But I won't wither away
Die or grow
(I am Darkbloom)
Die or grow
The song Darkbloom by We Came As Romans is an introspective and empowering piece of music that speaks about the struggles of acknowledging and accepting one's own inner demons. The opening lines, "I won't pretend that I can see the end, The light may fade but I won't wither away", set the tone of the song, which is one of perseverance and hope despite the darkness that surrounds the singer.
As the song progresses, we hear the singer admitting to feeling numb and afraid to face their own self. They are fighting the feelings they hide behind, but they know that if everything comes undone, they will black out the sun and find their own light that's buried inside them. The choice they face is simple, "die or grow," and they choose to grow. This can be interpreted as a call to face one's fears, acknowledge one's pain and to grow and learn from it.
The repeated line, "I won't pretend that I can see the end," serves as a reminder that life is uncertain, and we may not always know what lies ahead of us. Still, the singer refuses to let the uncertainty consume them and take away their will to keep fighting. They boldly proclaim that even if the light fades, they will not wither away.
Overall, Darkbloom is a song that inspires listeners to keep pushing forward despite the challenges and to embrace the darkness within as a means of growth and self-discovery.

I, I won't pretend that I can see the end
I am not going to fake that I know the future outcome
The light may fade but I won't wither away
I won't be defeated by obstacles in my path
I won't wither away
I won't give up
I won't wither away
I won't give up
(I am Darkbloom)
I am a symbol of resilience
Everything looks the same
I feel lost and uncertain
I know it all too well
I am familiar with this feeling
Am I numb and afraid
I wonder if I am emotionally detached and scared
Of looking at myself
I don't want to confront my innermost thoughts and feelings
Day or night
At any time
I'm fighting the feelings I hide behind
I am struggling with emotions that I don't show outwardly
If it all comes undone
If everything falls apart
We'll black out the sun
We will find a way to block out the negativity
I will find my own light
I will discover my own strength
That's buried inside me
That I already possess
Every choice that I make
My decisions affect my life
The seeds that I sow
My actions have consequences
I'm faced with my pain
I am confronted with my own suffering
Like a fork in the road
I have a difficult decision to make
Die or grow
Either give up or become stronger
When they black out the sun
When times get tough
I will find my own light that's buried inside
I will use my own inner strength to persevere
I won't pretend that I can see the end
I am not going to fake that I know the future outcome

I won't be defeated by obstacles in my path
But I won't wither away
I will keep fighting
Die or grow
Either give up or become stronger
(I am Darkbloom)
I am a symbol of resilience
Die or grow
Either give up or become stronger
